Description
Anti-EGFR Antibody (CAB16840)
The EGFR Polyclonal Antibody (CAB16840) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a key player in cell growth, proliferation, and survival. Raised in rabbits, this antibody is highly specific to human EGFR and is validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding to the EGFR protein, this antibody allows for the detection and analysis of EGFR expression in various cell types, making it ideal for research in oncology and cell signaling pathways.
EGFR is a transmembrane receptor that is overexpressed in many types of cancer, making it a target for cancer therapy research. Understanding the role and regulation of EGFR is essential for developing targeted therapies that can effectively inhibit its activity and halt cancer cell growth. This antibody provides researchers with a powerful tool to investigate EGFR signaling pathways and potential therapeutic interventions for EGFR-driven cancers.

Background: | The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the protein kinase superfamily. This protein is a receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family. EGFR is a cell surface protein that binds to epidermal growth factor. Binding of the protein to a ligand induces receptor dimerization and tyrosine autophosphorylation and leads to cell proliferation. Mutations in this gene are associated with lung cancer. |
UniProt Protein Function: | EGFR: a receptor tyrosine kinase. This is a receptor for epidermal growth factor (EGF) and related growth factors including TGF-alpha, amphiregulin, betacellulin, heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor, GP30, and vaccinia virus growth factor. EGFR is involved in the control of cell growth and differentiation. It is a single-pass transmembrane tyrosine kinase. Ligand binding to this receptor results in receptor dimerization, autophosphorylation (in trans), activation of various downstream signaling molecules and lysosomal degradation. It can be phosphorylated and activated by Src. Activated EGFR binds the SH2 domain of phospholipase C-gamma (PLC-gamma), activating PLC-gamma-mediated downstream signaling. Phosphorylated EGFR binds Cbl, leading to its ubiquitination and degradation. Grb2 and SHC bind to phospho-EGFR and are involved in the activation of MAP kinase signaling pathways. Phosphorylation on Ser and Thr residues is thought to represent a mechanism for attenuation of EGFR kinase activity. EGFR is overexpressed in breast, head and neck cancers, correlating with poor survival. Activating somatic mutations are seen in lung cancer, corresponding to the minority of patients with strong responses to the EGFR inhibitor Iressa (gefitinib). Mutations and amplifications are also seen in glioblastoma, and upregulation is seen in colon cancer and neoplasms. In xenografts, inhibitors synergize with cytotoxic drugs in the inhibition of many tumor types. Inhibitors include: Iressa/ZD1839, Erbitux, Tarceva, and lapatinib. Four alternatively spliced isoforms have been described. |
